Mu Zi’an’s soul transmigrated into the son of the State-Stabilizing Duke of Great Li. His predecessor had been willing to humble himself and offer everything for love, yet all he received in return...
At He Lan's roar, ten thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen surged in like a tidal wave.
However, the further you go, the narrower the roads become.
The original distance of six or seven hundred steps gradually shrank to only three or four hundred steps, and later to less than one hundred steps.
The surrounding riverbanks became increasingly steep, stretching the 10,000-strong cavalry force to an elongated position, creating a situation that was narrow in the front and wide in the back.
At this moment, He Lan also sensed that something was wrong.
However, just as he was about to order a halt and evacuation, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Although the two were a hundred meters apart, He Lan recognized the person at a glance.
Besides Mu Zian, who else would dare to stand alone against ten thousand cavalry?
Moreover, Mu Zian was completely alone at this moment, without even a warhorse.
He Lan laughed heartily from horseback, his excitement overflowing.
A tremendous achievement is within reach.
Even if Mu Zian possessed innate superhuman strength, those ten thousand warhorses charging over him would utterly crush even a body made of iron and stone.
Mu Zian showed no fear whatsoever as ten thousand warhorses galloped towards him.
Behind him was a bend in the river, and Mu Zian had already sent people to carve out a steep slope along both sides of the river.
Luo Cheng and several nights of stagnation, who were following behind Mu Zi'an, had already climbed up the steep slope to the riverbanks on both sides.
The reason Mu Zian didn't go up was because he wanted to use himself as bait to completely strangle the Xiongnu cavalry.
The two sides were a hundred meters apart, but for the warhorses galloping at full speed, it would only take a moment to reach each other.
At this moment, He Lan no longer cared about the steep earthen banks around him.
His eyes were fixed on Mu Zi'an; if he could kill him, he could rise to great heights!
Gemo, standing to the side, also had a burning gaze in his eyes.
That's the Duke of Zhenguo of Dali! Killing him would bring limitless future prospects!
The other centurions and commanders behind him shared the same expression as Helan Gemo.
This one achievement alone is enough for them to live off for the rest of their lives!
However, at that moment, Mu Zian took out a firework from his pocket.
Then, he slowly blew on the tinderbox and lit the fuse of the firework in his hand.
With a thud!
A dazzling firework exploded in the sky!
It's on a dam less than 100 meters away from here.
A hint of joy appeared on the faces of Zhao Yun and Liang Hongyu, who had been missing for a long time.
Behind them was a lake filled with water.
The water source at Xianmatan was already insufficient as late autumn approached.
However, Zhao Yun directly used gunpowder to blast away a tributary of the Xiying River in Liangzhou.
Then, the water from the Xiying River was continuously introduced into the riverbed of Xianmatan.
In just a few days, the trees were cut down and dams were built, creating a deep abyss hundreds of feet deep.
The tireless efforts of many days and nights have led to this moment!
Upon seeing the fireworks exploding in the sky, Zhao Yun immediately gave the order without hesitation.
"ignition!"
As soon as the order was given, soldiers immediately ignited the gunpowder that had been embedded in the dam.
At the same time, He Lan, who was running wildly, looked at the magnificent display in the sky and suddenly felt a sense of unease.
However, before He Lan could react, the next moment! A clap of thunder suddenly came from the distant horizon!
However, the sky was cloudless, showing no sign of rain whatsoever.
Rumble!
Rumble!
He Lan noticed that the ground beneath his feet began to shake!
Clumps of earth kept falling from the surrounding earthen banks.
Mu Zian felt the chill coming from behind him, then gave He Lan the middle finger as he ran towards him.
He then bent his knees slightly and jumped up from the spot.
In an instant, a deep pit appeared beneath Mu Zi'an's feet!
With the system's reward of ten times the jumping power, Mu Zian easily leaped out of the riverbed.
He Lan stared in shock at Mu Zi'an, who was suspended in mid-air.
He never imagined that a person could actually fly!
For a moment, He Lan felt as if he were dreaming.
However, the next moment, a sudden chill pulled him completely back from his daze.
A colossal, endless wave suddenly appeared, turning in from where Mu Zian had just been standing!
The sweeping force was like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth!
He Lan's eyes widened! He never expected that Mu Zi'an's final killing move would be a water attack!
Gemo, who was standing to the side, was taken aback and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Water! It's water!"
While Gemo was still in shock, He Lan had already reacted and immediately gave the order.
"The vanguard becomes the rearguard, and the rearguard becomes the vanguard; withdraw from this area immediately!"
The surrounding riverbanks are not high, but they are very steep due to the impact of the river.
Unless each of those ten thousand men is riding a Dilu.
You can only leap over it; otherwise, it's impossible to get across!
Although He Lan reacted and issued orders very quickly, their response was still too slow under the onslaught of the flood!
In an instant! A colossal wave engulfed He Lan!
Human beings always seem so insignificant in the face of the power of nature!
The sight of towering white waves was deeply etched into He Lan's mind.
The giant waves crashed directly against the rushing army ahead.
In an instant, men and horses were thrown to the ground! The Xiongnu cavalrymen who fell to the ground were immediately trampled to pieces by the people rushing in from behind.
Despite being swept away by the giant waves, He Lan, a skilled rider, managed to keep his horse firmly under control and avoid falling off.
This massive surge was only a single wave, which allowed He Lan to catch his breath.
But at this moment, the ever-rising river water had already submerged the horse's belly.
He Lan stared in shock at the vast expanse of water all around him and asked.
"Water! Why is there water?"
At this moment, a sentry who had been given a bellyful of water looked around in fear and then spoke.
"This is a riverbed! Someone is building a dam upstream to store water."
Upon hearing this, He Lan flew into a rage and cleanly chopped off the scout's head with his sword.
The gushing blood instantly stained the river red, and the severed head flowed backward with the current.
He Lan wasn't stupid; he finally understood.
Mu Zian did indeed set up an ambush, but the ambush was the river here!
We can handle men and horses! But how do we deal with river water?
Fortunately, no more giant waves came, and He Lan immediately ordered a retreat.
Although the flood caught him off guard, it did not cause him any real injury or death.
These Han people have run out of tricks. As long as he stops fighting and retreats immediately, they have no way to deal with him!
Watching the Xiongnu cavalry retreating through the water from the riverbank, Mu Zi'an smiled slightly.
At this moment, the soil beneath his feet had begun to become wet and collapse.
If the riverbank is like this, what must the place called Trapped Horse Beach be like?
Mu Zian looked into the distance and asked.
"Now it's time to see Liangchen's performance!"
